💙 MEET BLUEBERRY! 💙

🚨 Lifesaver pup needs an adopter or foster takeover by 9/11! 🚨

Blueberry has only been in foster care for three weeks, but the transformation she’s already made is pretty incredible.

When she first arrived, it seemed like so much of everyday life was brand new to her. She didn’t know basic commands, wasn’t potty trained, hadn’t learned how to walk on a leash, and clearly needed someone to show her what it meant to feel safe, loved and cared for.

And Blueberry has been learning FAST. 💙

In just three weeks, she has become potty trained, does great in her kennel, learned sit, is working on leave it, has gained some much-needed weight, and is getting calmer and more settled every week. She’s beginning to understand what’s expected of her—and, maybe even better, that she’s allowed to relax and just be a dog.

Blueberry is still a high-energy girl who LOVES to play! Running around the yard playing keep-away, tug, Kongs, lick mats and anything involving peanut butter are some of her favorite things. Give this girl a good outlet for her energy and you’ll see a much more content pup afterward.

She’s still working on leash manners and can get mouthy when she’s excited, so her new person should be ready to continue the training she’s started. But underneath all that enthusiasm is a genuinely gentle girl. Her foster hasn’t seen aggression from her—her challenges seem to come from excitement, wanting attention and a very enthusiastic desire to PLAY.

She’s even been around cats and mostly wants to crowd them, sniff them and convince them to join the fun. The cats, apparently, did not receive that memo. 😂 She has also had several positive on-leash introductions with dogs. While we can’t know exactly how she would do living with another dog, she may enjoy a well-matched canine friend who can keep up with her energy.

The biggest thing to know about Blueberry? She is making progress every single week. She’s settling. She’s learning. She’s getting chiller. And she’s showing everyone just how much potential she has.

Three weeks hasn’t been enough time to teach Blueberry everything—but it has been more than enough time to see what she could become with someone willing to keep going.

💙 Blueberry can only stay in her current foster home through 9/11. Without an adopter or foster takeover, she will have to return to the shelter. She has worked so hard and come so far. She deserves the chance to keep moving forward instead of starting over.

Blueberry doesn’t need someone who expects a perfect dog. She needs someone who sees the amazing dog she’s becoming.

Please consider adopting or fostering Blueberry and giving this sweet, goofy, energetic girl the chance she deserves. 💙🐾
